Where luxury buyers look in St. Louis
Every part of the region offers a different version of luxury. A Clayton condominium, a Huntleigh estate and a new custom home in St. Charles County are very different purchases, so compare the setting, architecture, land and lifestyle that matter most to you.
Frontenac
Established luxury homes alongside newer custom construction. When weighing the two, compare lot quality, level of customization and finished living space carefully.
Town & Country
Space, privacy and mature landscaping are central to the appeal here, with a mix of established estate homes and newer luxury construction.
Huntleigh
A very small, estate-oriented community. Few homes are available at any one time, so it helps to monitor the market and be prepared before the right property appears.
Clayton
Substantial single-family homes and upscale condominiums close to Clayton's business and dining district, for buyers who want a more urban setting.
Chesterfield & Creve Coeur
West County options ranging from established subdivisions and villas to custom homes, newer construction and larger properties.
Established suburbs
Historic and thoughtfully renovated homes, new infill construction and tree-lined neighborhoods in Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Glendale and Des Peres, with Kirkwood and Webster Groves adding walkable downtown districts.
Land & privacy
Acreage and newer custom homes in Wildwood and western St. Charles County, where higher-end homes are found around Wentzville, New Melle, Foristell and the Defiance and Augusta wine country.
Beyond a price point
What makes a home distinctive?
Luxury is local and property specific. Value may come from the setting, the scarcity of comparable homes or the quality of the design and improvements.
- Architecture and craftsmanship
- Land and privacy
- Historic character
- Renovation quality
- Outdoor living
- Views and natural setting
- Guest or recreation spaces
- Location and convenience
Know what you're comparing
Established estates or new construction?
Established and historic homes
Architecture, craftsmanship and mature settings can be major advantages of an older luxury home. Before you commit, understand the condition of the mechanical systems, roof, drainage and exterior materials, and how well past renovations were done.
New and custom construction
With new, custom or proposed construction, clarify what the base price includes, which selections are still open, how the builder's process works and how changes may affect the final cost and timeline.
A plan for your move
Guidance for buyers and sellers
Buying a luxury home
Distinctive homes become harder to compare as their design, land and condition diverge. Local context helps you understand the property and prepare for the right opportunity.
- Compare homes within their individual markets
- Evaluate construction, renovations and major systems
- Understand new construction selections and timelines
- Prepare financing or proof of funds early
Selling a distinctive property
Higher-value properties need individual positioning. The strategy should identify what makes the home noteworthy and reach the buyers most likely to value it.
- Set price with relevant market context
- Lead with professional presentation
- Match exposure to the likely buyer
- Build privacy needs into the plan
